From the 1st to 4th August 2025 - join the H-Hour community for the 5th year of the annual H-Hour Expedition.... it's gonna be the best H-Hour Exped yet!
Building on the success of 2024's Exped, 2025 will take us to the Peak District, staying at "The Farm" - a 38 bed bunkhouse with all the facilities you could possibly need for a weekend of exploring the Peak District on your feet or wheels, naturally aspirated or internal combustion charged!
The venue has been reserved exclusively for H-Hour expeditioners. Purchasing a ticket secures you your own space for three nights - come and go as you please. Join the group trips each day or do your own thing if you prefer.
Facilities at the venue include kitchen, clothes dryer, communal dining areas, tv, children's play areas outside, male/female toilets and showers, various sized bunk rooms from 2 beds up to 8 beds.
Limited spaces available so book early. Mark your calendars and get ready for H-Hour Exped 2025!
FAQs:
What does my ticket get for me?
Your space reserved in the bunkhouse for all three nights.
What do the daily road trips entail?
Each day, cars and motorbikes will head out to visit different parts of the Peak District, stopping at tourist hotspots, hidden gems and wherever else takes our fancy. There are often break off groups who wish to visit different things at different times, or who want to depart or return to the bunkhouse at different times to the main groups. The main group will stop regularly throughout the day for coffees, late breakfast, lunch, as required, usually every 45mins or so.
Can I take a day out to do my own thing?
Yes, absolutely - your ticket buys you your bunkspace and you are under no obligation to do what the main group of expeditioners are doing. But, we do encourage everyone to be back in for dinner together.
Will breakfast and dinner be included?
Not in the ticket price because people tend to want to eat different things and at different times. What is likely to happen on a daily basis is people wishing for breakfast or dinner to be prepared for them, will chip in to buy the food, and volunteers from the group will do the cooking (usually Hugh!), and there is always at least one BBQ on the go in the evenings.
How will the bunk rooms be organised?
People who already know each other will be grouped together where possible. Newcomers, people with partners/children will be accommodated as best as possible - people will young children will be prioritised for the smaller rooms if they wish, as will ladies who wish to bunk with other ladies. N.b. it may not always be possible to get you the ideal type of room / bunk buddies you want, but we will try.
I don't have a transport/motorbike/car - can I still come?
Of course - many expeditioners on previous years travel with others. If you want to take part in the group trips each day, you will be welcomed into the cars/vans/campers of people who have space.
Is there secure parking?
Yes
Can we bring pets?
No. The Farm is part of a larger Outdoor Education complex which does not allow pets.
Is there an age limit?
No - any age is fine. So yes, you can bring young people and fossils alike.
